One Step Two Step...

This morning Rachel pulled herself up on my Dad's shoulder to standing then turned and saw me. She let go of my Dad turned, took a step and reached for me before starting to fall. So at 8 1/2 months Rachel took her first step! Later that afternoon she did it again. That makes a total of two steps out of many many more. I'll capture it on film as soon as I can.

I heard from Wendy that she wasn't supposed to do anything exciting while you were gone! Sorry Grandma Wendy, but Congratulations to Rachel, not so much Shelly because once they walk the world is never the same!

I remember the excitement of the first steps. Yeah Rachel! Just wait Shelly until she is running and you can't keep up, then you will wish she was crawling again. Glad you are having fun in Texas!
